Abstract
THE following may be of interest to readers of NATURE: I have a bottle of pure phenol which has not been opened for a dozen years. During this period I have been interested to watch the growth of crystals from the sides of the empty portion of the bottle by sublimation. These crystals are cylinders or prisms many of them between two and three centimetres in length and as many millimetres in diameter. The ends are not pointed but neatly trimmed off by an oblique plane.
